Aphrodite had been doing a marvelous job of not looking at him; picking idly at a loose thread on the worn jeans she had borrowed. She wished she could be anywhere else or with anyone else. A specific someone came to mind, but he was currently indisposed. "This is such a mess..." she groaned, mostly to herself. Rubbing the side of her nose. She sighed deeply and pushed her hands through her hair. After the waiting was over, she would have so much to deal with on the outside.
Hearing him move closer, she pulled her feet up on to the table to sit cross-legged. As if the floor was lava, or as if he was lava. To create some sort of imaginary distance between them. Hardly a week had passed since their most recent-and final- tryst. Aphrodite tried to keep her expression neutral as she looked down at him. Tucking her hands into her lap. When he mentioned her eyes she looked away again. She was aware of the way she looked this close to a full moon or out of a shift. Half-feral.
"I'm sorry," she said. And she was, but she also wasn't. He had been so annoying and self-righteous in that moment. "It's...a hard time for me right now. Not just being here. But. With the full moon and a shift so recent..." she realized she didn't want to explain herself to him and that sad expression on his face. "Sorry."

I fear no fate (for you are my fate, my sweet) I want no world (for beautiful you are my world, my true) and it’s you are whatever a moon has always meant and whatever a sun will always sing is you.
